Who the NY Giants could have drafted over DeAndre Baker

If players got drafted based on name alone, Abdurrahman Ibn Ya-Sin, better known as Rock Ya-Sin would be the first overall pick in most drafts. Physically, Ya-Sin is also built similarly to Baker, but Ya-Sin plays much stronger yet even slower than Baker.

With one of the highest ceilings among cornerbacks from the 2019 NFL Draft, Rock had a somewhat rough rookie season. He allowed a passer rating of 109.2 on 66 targets. Make no mistake though, Ya-Sin made strides from the beginning of the season until the end, and would undoubtedly have the NY Giants in a better position right now should they have selected him.

Lastly, I would not be doing Rock Ya-Sin justice if I left out the fact that he is one of the best tackling cornerbacks we’ve seen in recent years. Ya-Sin even German suplexed his own teammate during the spring game at Temple back in the day.
